The Evening Wisconsin is disap-
pointed because the question Of "sa-
loon control and saloon license" was
not referred to in the message Of Gov
Rusk. The Wisconsin says:
at was cowardly commission Who'll
ly unworthy Of our usually courageous
and blunt-spohen jerry"
Doubtless Governor Rusk refrained
from considering the temperance ques-
ton for the same reason that the negro
preacher kept out of his sermons every,
thing about lying or stealing, because
'.sich talk would throw GOODNESS over
the meeting" And in this matter the
redoubtable Jerry is doubtless far wiser
in his generation than the editor OF
The Evening Wisconsin.

CHAPTER III.
AT CHURCH-THE MooNLIT WALK.

AT CHURCH-THE MOONLIT WALK.
Warren Stuart regarded the girl as a
commonplace mortal, and yet there
was something a little more than COM
mon about her. He seldom saw her,
save at mealtime, when she came in to
wait upon the table. She knew a serv-
ants place, and kept it. She was mod
est almost to shyness, and seldom spoke,
never unless compelled to do so. Com
monplace as he's supposed her to be, he
one day thought he discerned poetic
sadness in the large, dark blue eye,
as she stood like. one in a reverie. The
kitchen work at Stuart's was no very
small matter and it required all her
time and energy to accomplish her
part. She was nearly always busy, and
frequently when he saw that sad worn
face, and tired little form, he felt a
sympathy for her.
One evening after the days work
was done, he was passing the kitchen
where Helen would insist on staying,
and heard her engaged in an animated
conversation with her brother. 1t was
a simple conversation such as child
might understand about Heaven. Lit
tie Amos was asking his sister if he
should be relieved of his infirmities
there, and whether or not he would see
his mother and father. The answers OF
the girl were low and sweet, assuring
the little cripple that he would suffer no
pain there, and would meet those who
had gone before. Simple and common
place as the conversation was, it had
something about it which affected War
rem.
1t was Warren's intention to remain
! at home during the SUMMER, and early
in the fall seek location to enter into
the practice of his profession. 1t was
now the busy season. for farmers, and
he did not meet many of his former
friends and acquaintance. The second
Sunday after his return was the day for
preaching in the Sandy Fork school
house. The Methodist had taken this
in one of their circuits, and sent
Rev. Allen Blaze, famous gospel
FOUNDER to preach there once month.
The school-house was about three
fourths of mile from Mr. Stuart's and
down the creek known as Sandy Fork
1t was well hidden in the trees and the
road to it led through the forest. The
new preacher was very popular and his
audiences were always large. Not
unfrequently the school-house failed to
hold them and many stood outside at
the door and windows.

thing tried to fly and couldn't? Well,
this child, good as he is, holds down
that gal. Every cent she makes goes
to support herself an the child"
The breakfast bell rang, and Pete did
not complete his sentence.
That morning Warren noticed that the
eyes of the hired girl, who was sacrificing
herself for her crippled brother, We're
very large and blue, and her forehead
was broad and high, and her features
were regular. She was neat and tidy, and
did not look at all like the sloven
kitchen girls he had seen. Her hair
was golden and neatly gathered in a
net. There was a sweet sadness upon
her face, which touched him not a lit
tie, when he remembered that all her
earnings barely supported herself and
her brother.
